I am going to give you a bear hug, is a sweet adorable book. It has some rhymes in the book. It has animals and their cubs. This is good bedtime book for young readers. Young Readers could learn to read of this book as well.

It is done well. The pictures are well drawn. The pictures can tell the story themselves. It about giving a big hug and getting ready for bed.

Wow!

Arthur Conan Doyle's (more famous for his Sherlock Holmes creation) adventure novel, following a scientific expedition to a plateau in the Amazon basin of South America, where prehistoric animals still survive.

Interesting not solely from a plot standpoint, but also as a window into the then contemporary views on the Dinosauria family: who mostly come across as slow and dull-witted compared to more recent interpretations, such as those in Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park.
  
I loved the heroine in this book!!

     The Merchants Yield is the second book I have read by Lorri Dudley and it is the second book in her Leeward Islands series; all the books can be read as stand-alone but are interconnected by the characters. I really enjoy how Lorri Dudley describes island life, she uses some interesting animals and when she describes the sea its like I can taste it

"Perhaps the volume that influenced me most was called The Miracle of Life. I spent hours poring over the small print of those magical pages. It was not a book written for children, but I was absolutely absorbed as I learned about the diversity of life on earth, the age of the dinosaurs, evolution and Charles Darwin, the early explorers and naturalists — and the amazing variety and adaptations of the animals around the world."

"To understand ravens, Heinrich becomes the raven. He is heroic in the lengths he goes to to conduct his scientific research, and relentlessly curious in pursuing the reasons behind raven behavior. He causes us to reflect on what we mean by morality, intelligence, and emotion in animals and humans alike. This book made me fall in love with wild birds, and those who know me also know how huge birds have become in my life."
